Slow Internet Upload Speed From a Mac
I have a G4 and a G5 in my T1 equipped office, both running 10.3.9
Each is capable of download speeds around 1100 kbps, on websites, or FTP downloads,
BUT upload speeds are excruciatingly slow at 22 kbps.
+ Transfers to and from local windows file server (via SMB) seem to be fine.
+ PCs on the same network have no problem uploading at speeds comparable to the download speeds.
+ an OS 9 machin on the same network has no problem uploading at speeds comparable to the download speeds.
I have switched my ethernet cable with those machines, and experience the same slowness.
Would be happy to provide additional inforamation to resolve this issue...

How do you upload the file?
ASKER
FTP via transmit, or Fugu. but uploads via HTTP also seem to be effected.
i got the metrics mentioned above from the speakeasy.net/speedtest app.

i used scp through terminal to a remote machine,
and a 2 meg file took over eleven minutes to upload.
PCs or OS 9 machines on the same network do this
in about 12 seconds.
the out put from the line command upload had
this information when complete.
100% 2252KB 3.3KB/s 11:11
also, as the upload was happening, it would also display
a "stalled" message.
